Production NOTES

Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who’s new showrunner, looks forward to a new era…

Hello! I’m new here. Well, sort of; I’ve read all of these columns, even guest-wrote one years ago, but never expected to move in. Oh look, just here, two pairs of shoes, left behind. Hmmm. Big boots. No, wait, hang on, in this cupboard, dozens of pairs of shoes! Dating all the way back to 1963.

Ah, enough of that. You get it.

Coming in to this job is equal parts thrill, privilege and responsibility. So far we’ve been going about our business as quietly as we can, trying to keep a low profile (ha – as if that’s possible!), until Peter, Steven and Brian had bowed out in a blaze of collective glory.
